DONALD TRUMP WILL SPEND THANKSGIVING AT MAR-A-LAGO WHILE HE MAKES TROOPS STAY AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES AT THE BORDER

President Donald Trump is facing criticism for planning to continue his tradition of spending Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago resort while keeping thousands of American troops stationed at the southern border away from their home and families for the holiday.

A Federal Aviation Administration advisory last week listed flight restrictions for this Tuesday through Sunday in relation to Trump’s supposed trip to Palm Beach, where his private club he dubs the “Winter White House” is located.

While Trump plans to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast, he has expressed no intention of letting troops do the same. The president sent troops to the border with Mexico last month ahead of the midterm elections, claiming that the move was needed in light of a migrant caravan from Central America making its way to the United States.

The number of active-duty troops reached a high of about 5,800, according to a top Pentagon official last Thursday. The deployment is scheduled through December 15, well past Thanksgiving. Trump sent them to the border despite having close to 2,100 National Guardsman already stationed to help the Department of Homeland Security.

7. How much of our hard-earned tax money are the republicans squandering this time?

I figure, ballpark estimate, the republicans will squander about $10 million of our hard-earned tax dollars to pamper their draft-dodging, casino-hustling "billionaire" with dainty luxuries, and golden, glorious golf goof offs.

If the republican misleader is a freaking "billionaire" why can't he pay for his own freaking luxuries and frivolities?

"Conservative" my ass.
